 Why You’ll Love These Pumpkin Cake Pops

• No baking required and a creative way to use simple ingredients for a quick and easy recipe.
• Perfect for fall gatherings! These festive pumpkin cake pops make a great sweet snack or fun treat for kids.

Ingredients

For the cake pop base:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 8 crushed Biscoff biscuits
• ½ cup Biscoff spread
• 4 dates, soaked and blended
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp maple syrup

For the coating:

• 200g white chocolate or orange candy melts
• A few drops of orange food color gel (or orange candy melts)
• Chopped pecans (for the pumpkin “stalks”)

Instructions

1. Pop the coated pops back into the fridge for about 30 minutes to set completely. Once firm, transfer them to an airtight container or sealed container and store in the fridge for up to a week.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, crushed Biscoff biscuits. Add the blended dates, Biscoff spread, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until you have a soft dough that holds its shape when rolled.
3. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Roll into smooth balls, then gently press around the sides with your fingers or edge of the spoon to form a pumpkin shape. Use a lollipop stick or cocktail stick to create a small hole at the top (for the pecan stalk later).
4. Place the shaped pumpkin cake balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for around 20 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
5. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring every 10–15 second increments until smooth. Add a few drops of orange gel food colour (or use orange candy melts) and a little coconut oil if needed for a smoother candy coating.
6. Remove the chilled pumpkins from the fridge. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Place on a wire rack or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any drips. Before the coating sets, add a small pecan piece into the hole at the top to form the stalk.

Variations & Tips

• For a traditional cake pop texture combine crumbled cake with cream cheese frosting or cream cheese icing instead of oats and dates.
• Want more pumpkin flavour? Add a spoonful of pumpkin puree to the mixture and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
• To make spooky versions dip in black candy melts for Halloween and add faces with melted dark chocolate using a piping bag. Similar to these strawberry ghosts!

Storage

Store in an airtight container or sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze (without the pecan stalks) for up to a month. Let them thaw and come to room temperature before enjoying.
